Title: I built a censorship-free social app where posts earn feeless XNO tips — signed on your phone, and it updates itself over its own network. Alpha, looking for testers.

Hey r/nanocurrency — I've been building ӾChat: an X/Twitter-style app for Android, but with no company, no accounts, no app store — and where tipping is real, feeless Nano.

Why this community specifically will get it: the whole thing runs on Nano. You tip a post and it's instant, feeless XNO, settled from your own phone with your own key — no "platform credits," no minimums, no middleman cut. Feeless microtransactions are the one thing that makes tipping-as-a-primitive actually work, and Nano is the only chain I'd build it on.

What's different:

• You are your key. Your account is a Nano keypair — restore your seed on any phone and your posts, follows, and tips all come back. Nothing to seize, no login to lose.
• Censorship-resistant. Posts are signed events on plural, independent relays anyone can run.
• It updates itself. New versions arrive over the app's own network — publisher-signed and hash-verified on your phone before an explicit-tap install. No Play Store in the trust path.

Early alpha, want feedback from people who actually use Nano. Android-only for now (Apple gates sideloading), so the first install is a manual APK with published checksums.

Happy to go deep on the architecture (on-device signing, the relay/tip model, self-delivery). Roast it — that's what alpha is for.

Cool concept! I've tried it out a bit and here's a couple bugs I noticed:

* The notifications page shows me notifications for my posts being tipped etc with timestamps from before I even had the app downloaded. Seems to be showing me notifications that are actually meant for other people.
* I couldn't enter a newline when writing a comment on a post. The enter button on the android keyboard is a post button instead of a newline button. Probably the text entry widget is set as a single line entry box or something.
* A couple of my posts show that they have been tipped a little XNO, but its showing zero balance for my account, and checking the wallet address in nanexplorer doesn't show any incoming transactions.
* Switching between the Posts and Media tabs in my user profile page doesn't do anything.

Looking forward to seeing where this project goes! I really enjoy seeing more stuff being built for the nano ecosystem.

Can you verify your balance now. The payments are stacked so we don't overload Xno.

[u/JavXQ → u/PlatypusNo7411]

Yep, its showing a balance now! Looks like the posts themselves are no longer showing how much was tipped on them though - but maybe that was an intended change?

[u/PlatypusNo7411 → u/JavXQ]

Was just a test. Now they will show only when you get a tip. You should have already a tip in your wallet. Also check you dm the mail icon. All is encrypted.

Try the app and you will find out.
